Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg ignited a backlash on Twitter, particularly among people of color, after he claimed that the country’s next president needed to embody the values of “the American Heartland.” “In the face of unprecedented challenges, we need a president whose vision was shaped by the American Heartland rather than the ineffective Washington politics we’ve come to know and expect,” Mr. Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, tweeted to his 1.6 million followers Wednesday afternoon. As of Thursday morning, the tweet racked up only 1,300 retweets and a whopping 10,600 replies, with some users accusing Mr. Buttigieg of casual racism

Interesting thing about all these dog whistles... the Democrats seen to be the only ones who are hearing them.

It was the AMERICAN HEARTLAND that elected Donald J. Trump
The demonrats haven't represented the American Heartland for over 50 years now--
The city folk in the urban cities DO NOT represent the "American Heartland"
Mayor Pete Buttjudge is out of his ever loving mind if he things some trite slogan is going to win points over the "Iowa stubborn"

Heartland values like sodomy, infanticide, and higher taxes.

No one running in the nomination supports African American interests except with words and political correctness. And yes, a lot of them live in America’s Heartland. Not all minorities are pinned down in liberal run urban hellholes. That is where real racism lives and thrives.

Next president doesn't have to embody the values of the American heartland. We already have one that does. I doubt the heartland thinks much of your "marital" status. BTW

'American Heartland' tweet: 'It is a dog whistle'
If it is, it works just the opposite of what you would have us believe.

I wonder if any of the Democratic candidates ever secretly think, "my God, the Democratic party voting base is stark-raving mad."

Hey Pete, might I suggest you come on out and meet the heartland to which you refer before speculating what we are all about?
All indications suggest you are clueless. Bet you're confused how Trump got elected. Come on out and I'll clear that up for you. I promise not to make any jokes about your lifestyle and the target rich environment your name provides.

This is just leftist radicals trying to control language and the meaning of words and phrases. Anything that refers to normal Americans is bad and should be banned.

Mayor Pete, if you can't connect with your constituents in South Bend, (A city in America's Heartland), it does not bode well for the rest of America.

Apparently everything this guy has done was in service to his political ambitions. Only one problem...

Feel the love! Just look at the gray haired man sitting behind Pete in the photo. That guy does not look happy. (Love his crazy tee shirt message as well. I no longer want that shirt.)

What does this clown know about the heartland? In the early 80's, during my few cop years, South Bend was widely known as the highest crime rate in the US. I cant imagine it changed much since then. It was the place where all the action junkies said they wanted to hire in, and the rest of us wanted to avoid. Not exactly heartland values.
